A review by nemosyn
Chariots of The Gods by Erich von Däniken
3.0
If this book had contained actual facts, it would be my favourite non-fiction book of all time. It's a ripper of a read, very engaging, and required reading for kids who love UFOs, ghost stories, counterfactual history and mysteries.
It is also required reading for older kids who are learning to think critically and question what they are told, but this is best undertaken with adult assistance to encourage the reader to ask questions, investigate further, and dig up all the problems with the arguments and 'evidence' presented.
It only rates 3 stars because it's fiction pretending to be fact. If it gets reclassified as fiction, it's going straight up to 4 stars!
